Bluefin Tuna Hunting Butterfish in Slow Motion!

Here's some slow motion highlights from a bluefin tuna fishing trip I went on this past Friday October 21st. During this trip we hooked 4 bluefin tuna and landed 3. I believe most of the tuna fish in this video are probably in the 40-60 inch class size range, however we did see (and hook) tunas as large as 400 pounds during this trip.

If you would like to learn more about this trip, including the lures we used to imitate the butterfish, as well as the general location where we found the fish, then please visit this page. As always, good luck if you are able to get out fishing this week, and thanks for watching.

Tight lines! 🎣
